BCSAR View is a WIP tool for editing 3DS Sound Archives (*.bcsar).

At the moment, it supports dumping and inserting new wave sounds, sound sets, and archives. You can also dump sequences, banks, and groups.

Since BCSAR View is a WIP tool, you should take precautions before making any edits. Always back up your BCSAR before attempting to import or insert new sounds.

BCSAR View targets Java 8. To use it, you will need the Java 8 Runtime Environment.

Once you have the Java runtime installed, you can simply download the BCSAR View JAR and run it.
